Sweet Sealife for Abbey

Birthday time for Abbey! My friend from high school, Lisa, saw my photos on Facebook and gave me the honor of doing her daughter's birthday cuppies! It was so nice to reconnect and see that time doesn't change a thing! It was like graduation was yesterday - can't wait for a playdate! Lisa's family is amazing and I had an incredible time making the cupcakes! My ultimate favorite is the puffer fish!!! :)

Triple Birthday Celebration

If you've done the math right...you'll deduce that Trey had three birthday celebrations this year! Geez. The kid's gonna be sorely disappointed next year when he only has one! Hee hee!

Two friends from school (Grace and Anand) and Trey were all born within a few days of one another - so we decided to do a joint party since all the same kids were being invited anyhow. The party was at Aerial Gymnastics and the kids had a blast!

Since the guests of honor were both girl and boy, we decided on an ocean theme. Each birthday kiddo got a smash cake - my favorite was the shark. The cakes were covered with Satin Ice and the decorations were Satin Ice as well. The cuppies were of course coordinated with flair! There are close ups of the chocolate sea creatures for your viewing pleasure! :) My only regret is that the super-cute jellyfish and turtles blended into the frosting since the colors were too similar.

I also made chocolate sea creature lollipops for the goodie bags (using the Sealife Wilton candy mold)...but of course, taking the photos slipped my mind as we were in a rush to get out the door with three kids, presents, three dozen cuppies and three smash cakes! :(






Some cuppies for the parents...

A face like this makes it all worth it!
